Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a stretch-hood machine configured to determine one or more measured performance parameters of a roll of a particular type of film and to determine whether the measured performance parameters are consistent with one or more corresponding baseline performance parameters for that type of film.

Stretch-hood machine with film-evaluation feature

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems including stretch-hood machines configured to vertically and horizontally apply tubular stretch film to loads of goods and to methods for wrapping loads of goods with multiple segments of tubular stretch film.

Systems and methods for wrapping loads of goods with tubular stretch film

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a stretch-hood machine configured to optimize reefing device lateral movement and unwinding speed during film stretching to minimize reefing device travel distance and wear on the actuators that move the reefing devices and to reduce the possibility of damaging the film during stretching.

Stretch-hood machine

The present invention relates to a method for gathering-up a tubular film portion on at least two gathering fingers of a packaging machine and to a gathering apparatus of a packaging machine for carrying out the method as claimed in the invention. The method is distinguished in that the tubular film portion is expanded at least in a part region when being gathered-up onto the gathering fingers. The gathering apparatus as claimed in the invention is distinguished in that the gathering fingers can be driven into a gathering-up position for gathering-up the tubular film portion, in which gathering-up position the tubular film portion is expanded at least in a part region.

Reefing under stretch

Packaging method and device in which, with the aid of a stretch hood system, a tubular film portionis drawn over an articlethat is to be packaged. The tubular film portionis firstly reefed with the aid of a reefing deviceonto at least two reefing fingersof a drawing-over device. Then, by moving the drawing-over devicealong the articlethat is to be packaged, the tubular film portionis unreefed from the reefing fingersof the drawing-over deviceand drawn at least in sections over the article. During the reefing, the tubular film portionis at least intermittently inflated.

Packaging method and stretch hood system

The present disclosure provides a method for packaging an article of merchandise with a film material using a packaging apparatus. The film is a side-pleated tubular film roll. An input device receives the sole film packaging parameters of the thickness of the film, the width of the film, and the distance between a first side fold and a second side fold of the film. Based on these three film packaging parameters, a controller determines a specified length of the tubular film for packaging the article, and the packaging apparatus cuts off a segment of the tubular film having that specified length. The packaging apparatus then draws the segment of tubular film over the article being packaged.
